My wife and I stopped for dinner here while on vacation june of 1991. At this place we noticed (once again) that we did not fit the image the place wanted for their clientele. We were offered seating in a somewhat out-of-the-way wing along with other “older” people and families with children. The main eating area seemed to be populated only with younger couples - the “beautiful people” where the atmosphere was more like a nightclub. We didn’t really mind as we had a nice view from our table and it was quieter. My wife had walleye fish and a sweet potato which she enjoyed. My wild rice soup with chicken was excellent. However I had misread the menu and thought that I had also ordered a hamburger with black bean pate. It turned out that what I really had ordered was a sandwich which had not meat but rather a black bean patty! It was not good. My fault. less
